Played: Mary Goodnight in The Man With The Golden Gun Horror Filmography: Asylum (1972), The Wicker Man (1973), The Monster Club (1981), Satans Mistress (1982), Beverly Hills Vamp (1989). Outside of Bond (and her relationship with Peter Sellers), Britt Ekland is best remembered for playing Willow in The Wicker Man alongside Christopher Lee, her co-star in The Man In The Golden Gun. In fact, several of her horror pictures have a Bond connection of some kind. James Villiers (For Your Eyes Only) appears in Asylum, while Donald Pleasance (You Only Live Twice) is in The Monster Club and Lana Wood (Diamonds Are Forever) co-stars in Satans Mistress. Strangely, there arent too many name actors in Ms Eklands later films, although Fraternity Vacation (1985), does feature a pre-fame Tim Robbins.
